I want to try and make a manifold for a project me and a friend are building

Where is the cheapest place we can get these from on line?

Oddly, was just looking myself.

Can find loads of places selling, but very few with listings for online purchase. Although did find one local place that sells them...might be as handy looking locally too ?

I buy them from YSL in Rotherham. There's a £100 minimum order, but 1.5" 90's work out at around £2.50 each.

Lance at OJZ will sell you a pre-cut collector for around £60-70 or cut your own, but you'll need around 3' of pipe

my first one went in the bin lol . I would suggest using a cheap bit of mild steel pipe before cutting into your stainless steel . or just buy one ready made .
